    Default Table conditions

    I was playing .25/.50 limit last night and hit a couple of huge pots to go from my $15 buy in to $39. Then over the course of the rest of the session I pissed away $9 of it. I still had a great night, and can't be too upset, but I'd I had lost $9 from my buy in I would be royaly ticked.

    So anyway, when this type of things happen is it just variance or something else? I don't THINK I was playing looser because I had the big stack. Do people at this level notice big winners and try to avoid playing pots with them without a monster? Is it a good idea to cash out when you hit it big like this and find a new table?
    I'm CDO. It's like OCD, but everying is in order just like it should be.

    I've noticed that once you become the big stacks (at least on the micro tables I've played on) that yes, people fold in a heart beat...I find it much easier to steal blinds, bluff, what have you when I have that big stack advantage...so I would agree with you that people tend to tighten up and play only "monsters" (or what they think are monsters) with you when you're swingin the big stick...

    you are going to get high variance at the crazy loose tables.

    just remember that you almost never have 100% PE until to river, that 20$ pot you won may only have been 15$ is sklansky chips. I don't know if this is a good threory or not.
